One of the things everyone really looks forward to at Christmas is the Family Newsletter. I get something from each of my kids about their family and print it up. Jodi didn't even think about getting the letters Christmas Eve. She said I always do it Christmas morning. I don't remember there being a tradition of WHEN I give out the newsletter. A lot of years I am waiting until midnight on Christmas to get the last kid's submission. I print what we have and we all love just reading what is going on with every family.
This year Jodi talked about her dilemma of what to get Strider and how she had to get Uncle Jeremy to help her pick out a bow and what arrows to get. AND that was Strider's Christmas, all written up in the Christmas Newsletter for him to read Christmas Eve. Now is that my fault? It seems like the kids have hardly ever cared about the newsletter. Not this year. They're all big. They grew up and learned how to read. They all grabbed a newsletter and sat down to read. That's when Jodi realized she did not want Strider reading her page.
. I want it in writing that I did the newsletter. But it was getting close to Christmas and still no gifts under the tree, so Jerry did the shopping and grabbed a hoodie and a head lamp for each of the grandkids. Now they're all set with flashlights for the cabin this summer.
